A modest SME of 150 employees with a world wide brand recognition, not that common!<\/p>\n<p>Daniel talks about agility or how the Freitag company implemented it in a REAL manner at each level and layers of their processes. He prefers the German translation of agility which is: <em>&#8220;Resultat Optimierungs Modells&#8221;<\/em>. SCRUM seems to have had its say, even for what looks like a very mechanistic type of company.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nAnd the will that is showed to not only <strong>decree<\/strong> that &#8220;we are agile&#8221;&#8230; but actually operate it, implement it. To translate it into a sort of common ADN. The point that even their white board are agile and portable&#8230; like the post-it is, perhaps amusing, but also demonstrate quite a determination.<\/p>\n<p>Since 20 years, Freitag sells bag&#8230; almost the same ones. How do you keep being agile? A mind-set.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I love the &#8220;beyond budgeting&#8221; issue and his sentence: <em>&#8220;You spend one month to put everything on paper, and after a week, you start mixing the budget lines&#8221;<\/em>. How do you re-conciliate the need for the budget snapshot to remain the same and the real dynamic of the company or project daily life?&#8221;. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbrt.org\/beyond-budgeting\/beybud.html\">Have a look: Beyond Budgeting<\/a>.<br \/>\nA budget cannot stay still, like everything else!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t plan&#8230; Speculate!
